Heroic BSOD: Jude, after he sees his mother killed. He goes silent - even if you had his voice settings at such a point that he'd ordinarily burst out with some catchphrase or sound effect every three steps. It's...unnerving.

Yulie Ahtreide

A shy girl who is extremely wary of adults. She is also a Gene Driver, but her abilities were given to her through extensive and inhumane treatments and experimentation. She cannot activate ARMs like Jude can, but can control already active ARMs, which allows her to use the Guardian Programs. Aside from that, she's primarily a healer/support character. Voiced by Ayako Kawasumi in Japanese and Kate Higgins in English.

Raquel Applegate

A swordswoman seemingly without peer. She is by far the most mature member of the party. Raquel is dying of an incurable condition that is the result of an ARM going out of control when she was a child. Because of this, she walks the Earth to find and paint the remaining beauty in the world. She also happens to be the most broken (no pun intended) character in your party, with an attack strength high enough to finish most (non-boss) enemies in one hit. She later gains abilities that give her superior mobility on the battlefield and the ability to act twice in a row. Voiced by Hitomi Nabatame in Japanese and Wendee Lee in English.

Combat Clairvoyance: Lambda has the Blue Destiny ability, which lets him calculate the future and allows him to completely avoid the attacks of anyone in his sight most of the time, even if the attack is normally unavoidable.

Kresnik Ahtreide

Yulie's brother and, as a result of the same experimentation done on Yulie, also a Gene Driver. He cares deeply for his sister but is jealous of Jude for having the natural ability to use ARMs. Voiced by Susumu Chiba in Japanese and Johnny Yong Bosch in English.

Green-Eyed Monster: Kresnik envies Jude for being a natural born ARMs wielder much younger than him. Kresnik had to undergo severe mutations and can still only wield prototype ARMs with the aid of drugs.

Inferred Survival: Kresnik's music box is found by Yulie in the ending, hinting that he's still alive.

There's also a panning shot in the epilogue which briefly shows a silouhette strongly resembling him - a shot which panned out from his sister's appearance. Not so much "inferred" as "apparently just didn't merit a "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue line of text of his own"...

Jeremy

By far the most violent and insane member of Brionac, Jeremy weilds a rapid fire missile launcher barehanded thanks to his special ability, "Inertia Cancel." He eventually merges with an ARM, become a Wild ARM, making him even crazier and more dangerous.

Augst

A former colleague of Jude's parents, Augst now works as a scientist for Brionac. He lacks any combat prowess or special abilities, unlike most of the rest of Brionac. Voiced by Akio Nojima in Japanese and Paul St Peter in English.

Scythe Riebauer

A man who claims to be one of the half-mythical Crimson Nobles. He has the special ability to manipulate time and space. In reality, he is a delusional hemophiliac whose power comes from the demon Belial. He is voiced by Daisuke Kishio in Japanese and Cam Clarke in English.

Hugo Hewitt

A member of Brionac whose special ability is "System Chronos", which stops time for everyone but himself. He wields a pair of swords, named Gan and Diva, which can be combined to form a bow. Voiced by Taiten Kusunoki in Japanese.

Enil Aidem

A physically weak woman who has the devastating special ability of "Dark Whisper," which can manifest illusions, particularly fears. She also has the ability to shapeshift. Voiced by Nao Takamori in Japansese.

Fiore and Asia

A pair of living dolls designs by a Mad Scientist named Heath. Although not officially members of Brionac, they are associated with the group and seem to take orders from Lambda. Their special ability relates to dreaming. Both are voiced by Ryo Hirohashi in Japanese.

Gawn Brawdia

Badass Normal: He's one of the only two members of Brionac without a special ability, but he is by far their strongest member, with more than two times the HP of the next toughest member and with his standard attacks being One Hit Kills.

Hauser Blackwell

An infamous Drifter and war criminal who wields an ARM and appears to have the same Accelerator ability as Jude. In reality, he is innocent of the crimes he is accused of and is sick of war.

Dead All Along: It's heavily implied that Hauser is a nanomachine-powered ghost by the time the party meets him, similar to Werner from the last game.

Disappears into Light: Hauser, who at that point may have been nothing more than a nanomachine cluster, after Jude convinces him to let go and rest.

Luke, I Am Your Father: Hints throughout the game are made that he is Jude's father. Subverted in that it is later hinted that this is not Jude's real father (he died), but rather a collection of nanomachines that mimicked him.
